What do you mean we "uncovered" him, and who said he was the only one who ever said or did something really stupid?

I got it. Everyone is open to joking about dumb things athletes do, until they come here, then we can be pious toward others for making the exact same jokes, or any reference that isn't flattering.

Really not understanding a two year deal on someone who missed almost 2 out of 4 years of playing and just recovered from another serious injury. Very high risk move. He was also slow before any injuries. Our LT could out run him.

Smart player, but flat-footed and slow. Depth and special teams. Can he play Sam?

Yeah, he's probably a decent player in a somewhat limited role, but I don't know how much we can depend on him being on the field. I wonder what the money is on this deal.

It's really only a year contract. It's just that it's gonna take two years to get one season out of him...

He's a Nolan guy. That's why he's here. And if Nolan thinks he can get something out of him then fine with me. At worst he's depth.

Absolutely. All humor aside, we're eventually gonna get it right with signing a formerly injured player and really score. Hopefully, we're figuring out not to spend too much on'em.... at least at first anyways.

Armstead could out run a good handful of LB's so not really fair but after all these injuries certainly not going make him faster. He was already on the slower part of the scale. Smart player though when healthy in certain situations. As a starter no way.

Ok, but he has ACL issues.
